Kilkerran Work In Progress No.6 Bourbon Wood | Glengyl

An Early Kilkerran Work In Progress Release

Distilled at Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, this Work In Progress No.6 Bourbon Wood release formed part of the highly regarded series documenting Kilkerran's journey toward its eventual 12 Year Old core expression. Matured exclusively in bourbon casks and bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration or added colouring, it offers collectors an opportunity to experience an important chapter in the modern revival of Campbeltown whisky.

About the Distillery

Glengyle Distillery represents one of the most significant modern revivals in Scotch whisky. Reopened by Mitchell's Glengyle Ltd., the same family behind Springbank, the distillery returned whisky production to Campbeltown after decades of decline. The Kilkerran Work In Progress releases became highly collectible as enthusiasts followed the development of the spirit before the introduction of the now celebrated Kilkerran 12 Year Old. Early releases such as No.6 Bourbon Wood remain sought after by collectors seeking a snapshot of Kilkerran's formative years.

Archive Notes

Please review all product images carefully. Minor cosmetic wear to labels, capsules, tins, cartons, or presentation cases may be present due to age, long-term storage, or secondary-market sourcing.

This example includes the original tin, which displays slight staining consistent with age and storage.

Natural variation in fill level, packaging condition, and label ageing can occur in older releases and forms part of the character of mature collectible whisky.
